1.A.3.b vi-vii - Road Transport: Automobile Tyre and Brake Wear and Road Abrasion

This overview chapter provides information on emissions from automobile tyre and brake wear & road abrasion are reported reported in NFR sub-categories 1.A.3.b vi and 1.A.3.b vii. These sub-categories are important sources for a) particle emissions and b) emissions of heavy metals, POPs etc. included in these particles.

NFR-Code Name of Category
1.A.3.b vi Automobile Tyre and Brake Wear
1.A.3.b vii Automobile Road Abrasion

Methodology

Activity data

Specific mileage data for all different types of road vehicles are generated within TREMOD (Knörr et al., 2021a) 1). The following table provides an overview of annual mileages.

Recalculations

With both activity data and emission factors unrevised, emission estimates remain unaltered compared to last year's submission.

Planned improvements

Besides the routine revision of the TREMOD model, no specific improvements are planned.
